The calm before the storm is about over. Things are picking up again at Stone's Throw Dinner Theatre.

The calm before the storm is about over. Things are picking up again at Stone's Throw Dinner Theatre. As I'm sure you know, I'm taking reservations for our upcoming show, “Lend Me a Tenor.” It runs March 16-18 and 23-25. It is filling quickly so you'd better call soon. This non-musical musical is set in the Cleveland Opera House where they are primed and pumped for a performance by the world's foremost tenor. But a lot of problems and mayhem take place before he ever gets the chance to take the stage. If you don't like laughing don't call 358-9665 to make reservations.If you want to be an actor then come to Stone's Throw on Monday, March 12 and/or Tuesday, March 13 and audition for our May show, “Things My Mother Taught Me.” Directed by Doug Dickey, this is the story of a young couple who pack up everything they own and move from New York to Chicago to start a new life together. Simple enough, right? But, you can probably figure out how unsimplified it gets when both sets of parents show up on move-in day.The cast calls for three females, ages 25-65 and three males of the same range. Auditions will consist of cold-reading from the script and begin at 6pm each evening. The play runs May 11-18 and May 18-20.A couple of things this weekend include our monthly card party. You can bring your own group or come along and join another group. You must reserve a spot, though, by calling Betty Bell at 358-7268. The cost to play is only $8.50 and includes lunch, snacks and drinks. Also, this weekend you're are invited to come see us at the Carthage Business Expo on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. We will be joining several other businesses and civic groups with lots of fun and giveaways. Hope to see you there.This next item is still a little ways off but it is time for you to start preparing for our next Trivia Night at Stone's Throw on Saturday, April 21. Teams of eight will battle it out for pride and prizes. You can find more information on our website, www.stonesthrowdinnertheatre.com. My team will be there. Get yours together and come get whooped. I'm off to bone up on everything useless.Thanks for reading.
